Summary
Martijn Thomas is an experienced organisation development and IT governance leader with 13 years of practice helping public sector organisations translate complex digital and data transformation challenges into practical, well-governed change. He combines programme and project leadership—most recently in digital transformation and data-driven work at regional water authorities and municipalities—with hands-on responsibility for HR, IT and service delivery in intermunicipal settings. Known for working "in the wings," he excels at influencing, connecting people and content, and creating clarity in messy situations while still giving sharp, evidence-based advice when needed. His background in information management, public administration and executive IT governance gives him both the technical understanding and the political savvy to drive sustainable organisational shifts. Outside work he builds wooden boats, a detail that speaks to his patience, craftmanship and preference for iterative, tangible progress.
